# AIIMS opens INI CET 2027 registration, deadline October 13 2026-09-18T06:31:58+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet AIIMS has opened registration for the INI Combined Entrance Test (INI CET) 2027 for admission to postgraduate medical courses. Candidates can apply online at aiimsexams.ac.in. The last date to submit applications is October 13, 2026. The INI CET is the single entrance exam for MD, MS, and MDS programmes across multiple central institutes, including all AIIMS campuses, JIPMER Puducherry, NIMHANS Bengaluru, and PGIMER Chandigarh. A single exam replaced the separate tests each institute previously held. The exact test date will be announced on the admit card. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The INI CET is the single entrance exam for postgraduate medical seats (MD, MS, MDS) across all AIIMS institutes plus JIPMER, NIMHANS, PGIMER Chandigarh, and Sree Chitra Tirunal. Prior to 2020, each institute held its own test. Merging them ended that duplication, but it also means a single high-stakes exam now decides access to India's most sought-after clinical and super-specialty training. For the roughly 25,000 annual MBBS graduates eyeing these roughly 2,000 seats, missing the October deadline closes every door at once. The computer-based test date is expected on the admit card, which will be released after the application window shuts. ## Coverage - ndtv.com Tags: AIIMS, aiimsexams.ac.in, INI CET, Jipmer, NIMHANS, PGIMER Chandigarh Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/aiims-opens-ini-cet-2027-registration-deadline-october-13/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
